Agreed.

Looks good to me, with one minor nit:

+<ul>
+  <li>
+    For offloading, issues preventing some host-device architecture
+    combinations have been resolved. In particular, offloading from an
+    aarch64 host to a nvptx device is now supported.</li>
+  </li>
+</li>

The way "nvptx" is pronounced from what I can tell, this should be
"...an nvptx device...".

(And maybe note what kind of "offloading" at the beginning of the first 
sentence, if there is a good term for that?)
